Learning and optimization of anticipatory feedback controllers for robot manipulation

Hakan Girgin

Programming intelligent robots requires robust controllers that can achieve desired tasks while adapting to the changes in the task and the environment. In this thesis, we address the challenges in designing such adaptive and anticipatory feedback controll ...

An optimized self-sensing piezoelectric cantilever for micro-robotic applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson, Xinchang Liu

Quasi-static piezoelectric actuators are used in micro-robotics due to the small displacements they can achieve, and they have been proven to be suitable for Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) applications. The morphology and material of an actuator, and therefo ...

Designing Minimal and Scalable Insect-Inspired Multi-Locomotion Millirobots

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Kazuaki Mori

In ant colonies, collectivity enables division of labour and resources with great scalability. Beyond their intricate social behaviours, individuals of the genus Odontomachus, also known as trap-jaw ants, have developed remarkable multi-locomotion mechanis ...

Design of an Optimized Self-Sensing Piezoelectric Cantilever for Micro-Robotic Applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Quasi-static piezoelectric actuators are used in micro-robotics due to the small displacements they can achieve, and they have been proved suitable for Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) applications. The fabrication parameters of an actuator (i.e. morphology, s ...

Towards Agility: Definition, Benchmark and Design Considerations for Small, Quadrupedal Robots

Peter Eckert

Agile quadrupedal locomotion in animals and robots is yet to be fully understood, quantified or achieved. An intuitive notion of agility exists, but neither a concise definition nor a common benchmark can be found. Further, it is unclear, what minimal leve ...

EPFL2018

Robots are steadily becoming one of the significant 21st century learning technologies that aim to improve education within both formal and informal environments. Such robots, called Robots for Learning, have so far been utilized as constructionist tools o ...

A Soft Robot for Random Exploration of Terrestrial Environments

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Davide Zappetti, Jérémie Willemin

A swarm of randomly moving miniature robots is an effective solution for the exploration of unknown terrains. However, the deployment of a swarm of miniature robots poses two challenges: finding an adequate locomotion strategy for fast exploration and obst ...

Hardware Architecture and Cutting-Edge Assembly Process of a Tiny Curved Compound Eye

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Géraud L'Eplattenier

The demand for bendable sensors increases constantly in the challenging field of soft and micro-scale robotics. We present here, in more detail, the flexible, functional, insect-inspired curved artificial compound eye (CurvACE) that was previously introduc ...
